Not much to report. Yesturday the contractions were more spaced apart and much milder. Aaron and I took the opportunity to relax and clean up around the house some. We went out for breakfast at our favorite classic american diner "Flim Flam" and the headed over to see Rachel, our doula. She was nice enough to do some body work/massage therapy with me to try to get my energy flowing and the body to relax. I think that helped a lot in terms of acceptance and not fighting the pain. Later I vacuumed and took a nap. Aaron beat up some digital bad guys, made dinner and then we went out to see a movie.

The doctor gave me a script for Ambien which is a fairly strong sedative so that I can get a good night sleep in spite of the contractions. I had been fighting using any meds but a lot of good friends whose advice I sometimes heed including my sponsor, my doctor and my doula - all thought the best thing I could do was to get a good night sleep. I gave in and it helped although sleep wasn't without interuptions. I think you would have to be dead to sleep through some contractions.

Today Peanut and I had a little one on one. He and I and his Daddy are going to have this baby today - right, Peanut? Whether we let them induce us or he decides to work with us. I think he takes after his daddy a little and he just kinda gets lost on the way. A little bright shiny thing distracts him and labor slows down. Can babies be ADD in the womb??
